Waterfowl were scarce this morning, but Maureen & I spotted several
first-of-year birds. All our viewing was from the eastern shore and
from the dam. Noteworthy:
Pied-bill Grebes - 2
Hooded Mergansers - 9
Wood Duck - 3
Common Goldeneye ~6
Bald Eagle - pair perched on the island nest
Red-tailed Hawk - 1
Great Blue Heron - 2 in flight; no nests visible in the former rookery
Golden-crowned Kinglet - 1
Fox Sparrow - 1
Song Sparrow - numerous
Eastern Phoebe - 1
Common Grackles - 4
When we returned home we were surprised to find 2 Fox Sparrows in our
yard, along with 6 Pine Siskins.
